    Currently in Taiwan and planning to check out badminton store one of these days and thinking of getting a new Victor racquet as I had good experience using Victor MX 80 4U back in the day. Have been using Yonex AS 11 Pro 4U. If I could modify I would like a slightly more head heavy Yonex AS PRO 4U. Seeing a lot of new Victor racquets and was wondering which one might be a fun new toy to have. May also consider Jnice racquet if anyone has any input. Thanks in advance!

    Thruster F enhanced (Hendra Setiawan's racket) - head heavy
    Drivex 10 Mettalic - even balanced

    I have both and really like them both. I switched between them every 2 weeks or so.

    Thanks for the input! The shop is letting me rent 1 racquet at a time and going to test out the Thuster F, 4U, the shop said the Enchanced edition is 3U only?? (do you know if thats true?). They are all sold out of Drivex 10 metallic 4U and only have 3U available atm so will have to wait for it or will check out another store. What do you feel are the differences between the two racquets?

    The one with Hendra's signature is 3U. Without would be 4U. Wished we can get Hendra's one in 4U.

    at first, I used 4U TKFE, then broke in a clash, got a 3U and never looked back.
    as for DX10, i have the 4U
    both are strung with exbolt 65, 27x29lbs

    The differences are minimal for me.
    TKFE when I am playing back court
    DX10 when I got carried lol
